Designo White AMG GTS
The M178 in the GT(S) cars does not have twin scroll turbos.
The M177 in the E63 and S63 has twin scroll turbos and a different exhaust manifold. This setup will make a lot more power with simple mods.
I don't know why AMG didn't put the twin scroll setup in their flagship sports car. I dont know enough about the technology to know if there's a downside for a more track focused car. Or maybe it's just too much power for a track car. Or maybe they didn't want to spend the time and integrate the new technology in the current GT line with a new model/powerplant on the horizon.
